The true picture emerges
The news that Jacob Rees-Mogg is to approve more drilling and pumping of oil from the North Sea, and is keen for fracking to restart, should shock us all.
The idea that this will increase energy security or even reduce energy prices, is a sick joke. Any new North Sea oil won’t come on line for 20 years and even when the country was an oil exporter, fuel was still priced at international prices.
But what they really show is that the climate change deniers are now in power, the small group of ignorant, conspiracy sharing nutters, who are nearly all Brexit supporters as well, are now making policy and passing laws.
They see Putin’s war as a chance and an excuse to reverse green policies, see off the “knit your own porridge sandal wearers” and burn oil.
They will hide behind the war in Ukraine, they will talk about temporary policies to deal with a crisis, they will lie about the real cause of high prices and lie about trying to bring them down.
But they are climate change denying idiots and they now rule the roost.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
